wife's head off with a shotgun, killed his
son with a revolver, shot Officer George
James in the groin and received a buffet
himself from Officer Warden's pistol,
died in the lookup. OF the participants
in the tragedy, three are dead, and the
condition of Officer James is critical.
McNeerney is a laborer. When searched
$215 was found in his pockets. Officer
Warden shot him when the two were in
a hand-to-hand death struggle in the
dark. the bullet entering his back and
passing downward into his intestines.
He bled p~rofusely and it was evident he
could not live. The body of his wife was
doubled up In one corner of the room,
with her brains scattered over the wall.
His son, with a bullet clear Through his
head, had been carried across the street.
Count that money right, y demanded
the old man as he lay or the fiooor bleed

The officer said there was $116 in the

The officer counted again, and found
another hundred dollar bill. His daughter

Thai BUSTED BANK.
Claims Against the Fldelit, No, Con-
sidered Much Good.

Claims Against tho Fidelity No, Con-
sidered Much Good.
CHICAGO, July ga dispatch from
Cincinnati states that the depositors OF
the broken Fidelity bank would receive
not less than so per cent but in the opin-
ion of the attorneys of the receiver some
OF the largest claims could not be col
iected under any circumstances. This is
q matter of interest to this city, as heavy
claims against the institution are held in
Chicago. OF course all claims OF the
same sort will stand on the same footing,
and 1T is thought that those which the
lawyers except are three entries of $780,
600 each, found in the back part of Harp
er's book, the history and nature OF which
have not been fully investigated. Coun-
sci for ths American Exchange National
bank or this city has just been in Cincin-
natl and he reports that it is impossible
to make any estimate of what the credit
ors will get. The receiver is a careful,
conscientious man, and is proceeding
very slowly. Any statement made before
he gets through his work will be little
better than a guess. The controller of
the currency evidently intends to push
his investigation very vigorously. He
will try to make the Officials of the bank
responsible for the losses on the ground of
gross negligence. If he succeeds all the
claimants will be paid in full, AZ Briggs
Swift, the president, alone is said to have
enough topay all.

CHICAGO; Ill, July 22.-Herman Runge

Germany when he sent her money and a
passport for her to CONS here. The pass

translation OF a letter from her received
by Judge Shepard will probably prevent
hunge from securing a divorce without
pretty strict proof. She writes:
